My First Noel

Happy Saturday, friends!  I keep thinking it is Sunday, but Yay!  I have an extra day left to do all the fun things. 

Today, I am sharing a fun shaker card that I created for the Kat Scrappiness Holiday Release!  I literally love everything about this release.   There is so many great products that you are covered for literally every kind of holiday project you can think of.

I started with one of the brand new Mini Slimline Full Front Shaker Card Pockets.  I love shaker cards, but I hate fiddling with them and usually mess it up.  These pockets make it so simple to create amazing projects in a flash.  I used a piece of patterned paper from the Lumber Yard Slimline Paper Pad as my background.  I love the look of weathered wood, so it was perfect to pair with greenery!  

I die-cut a whole ton of foliage using the new Christmas Foliage Dies and I sponged some ink on to the leaves and berries to add a little bit of dimension.  I used the Build A Bow Die Set to create a bow and set the elements aside to set about creating the shaker.   Like I said the pockets make it ridiculously easy to do this.  I poured some Glitter Sequin Mix - Christmas into the shaker along with some Christmas Confetti Sprinkles and then adhered the final flap of the pocket down.  

To complete the card, I arranged the foliage and adhered to the front of my shaker, and I die-cut the sentiment using the new Noel Word w/Shadow Die. 

I really love how this card came together!  I just wish I were a better photographer.  Acetate is tough for me to get photos of... so ignore the glare! LOL! 

Thanks so much for stopping by! 

Xoxo, Kim
